Onazi Scores Twice In Lazio’s Big Pre-Season Win

By Johnny Edward: Super Eagles midfielder Ogenyi Onazi scored a second half brace in Lazio’s 19-0 annihilation of Italian fourth tier side Auronzo in their first pre-season game at the Rodolfo Zandegiacomo Stadium, Completesportsnigeria.com can report.

The Nigerian international who has been linked with a move away from the club this summer struck in the 85th and 86th minutes of the encounter after coming on as a second half substitute.

The 23-year-old midfielder has made a total of just 31 Serie A appearances over the course of the past two seasons.

According to reports Turkish champions Besiktas, Panathinaikos, West Ham, Everton and Sunderland have all made enquires about the £7m rated Africa Cup of Nations winner.

Lazio have also lined up pre-season games against Brighton & Hove and Werder Bremen aside from the local games they will play in Italy.
